I see where you're coming from, and I agree with you about boundaries and limits, but I think it's a stretch to say we were "exposed" to her breast for that one second. If you looked really hard, you saw it happen, then the lights went out a second later. Most of the pictures and images have come after the fact. I was watching the bowl while reading the net and missed the incident. Only saw it later during a re-run of the game, when I was specifically looking for it to happen. Yes, if Hillary Clinton exposed herself during the state of the union address that would be a bit much and Europeans would probably give us that "quit being a puritan" stuff. But it would be kinda funny... I've been at the beach in the U.S. and had a girl accidently roll over and exposed her breast to me and my children. No big deal to me, but I suppose the setting has a lot to do with it. The half-time show stunk, of that I think we can both completely agree. What amazed me is how many people were cheering and screaming, seemingly enjoying the show while she was strutting around. Her brother is talented, Janet Jackson reminds me of how little talent it takes to be a music star today if you're given the right handlers, and right sound studio. The top 30 of American Idol probably sing better than she does. Yeah, they do do some strange things in Europe. Like never handing you the change, or baring it all on the beach. One thing I thought was really funny was a 12 year old kid dropping his pants and peeing right into the surf from the beach. Then when I thought about it, how many people lying around the beach in the U.S. specifically go in the water just to relieve themselves? :) Oh well, just some ramblings....
